| The following expression hang in 2.7.9 for the module re: re.match('^([a-zA-Z0-9]+|[\\s]+ | [,.])+$', 'Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc ()') | |

| Please go to python-list to get help about writing re expressions for parsing. The example regexp does not technically hang, it is just exploring a very large set of alternatives, none of which match (because the trailing '()' doesn't match anything). |
